Fremen

I was googling a website and one of the links led me to a place called webarbiter, which lets you type in a website, that then tells you little factoids about the site. Like how it ranks in the world, or what it's supposedly worth. Looks like we're worth 16 camels somewhere.
I'm probably misinterpreting the whole thing. Can someone tell what this thing's for?

By the way, I want a camel, now.

this is what they rekon we're worth

Fremen this is a page ranking site. There are many others like it online..i just find it intruiging that they valued it in different ways.

btw, what sort of camel is it? here in arabia, not all camels are the same. It's like saying 100 dollar bill is the same as a 10 dollar bill.

what i find intruiging the most is that they assumed that we take an income of 51 dollars a day. i wish that were true. Most members know that in order to keep this place ad-free, TFP income is dependant on contributions from the members themselves.

Am I the only guy that loves that Dlish is the resident camel value expert?

Does sending TFP one camel count as donation for life time membership?

So... about that camel you're going to mail me...

i dunno about you Jazz, but i could do with a camel here. My status amongst my bretheren here would skyrocket to the nth degree if bagatelle goes through with her plans to send a certain mod her camel.

you guys need to check out the worlds (and UAE's) most expensive camel worth $4.5 Million USD. How many cars have you seen worth that much?

I'm waiting for the camel in the mail. You can send Jazz the Honda.

Would that be one hump, or two?

I'm sending the model of camel, which did not endure winter conditions too well.

thats a good choice Event Horizon. i was hoping you'd say that.

cars are depreciating assets. Camels keep their value throughout their life and can even increase in value dependant on lineage and race value ( yes camel racing is massive here - as is horse racing).

show me a 4 Million dollar car that can reproduce and give you another multi-dollar car without having to go to a manufacturer and i'll accept your theory thats cars are better than camels.

But can you make out comfortably on a camel, like in a car?

/please say yes

Fremen,

I'm pretty sure the last car you could make out comfortably in was built in 1979.

Trying to make out in a 2001 Honda Civic is utter torture. Total boner stomper.

...

Dlish,

Whoa, they totally ripped that shit off the second Star Wars movie.

Somebody call John Rambo... we've got Green Beret Cow Hiding here.

And... uh... Bear Grylls drinks his own urine repeatedly for no reason.

I'm pretty sure he does it for shock value. Like 90% of his silly show.

Hmm, good point, unless it's a van or extended cab pick-up, you can't comfortably apply the right torque to the wrench to get the motor running in today's cars.

/no jacking-off of the thread with the camels present
//think of the children

granted, cars cant reproduce. but what about all the cool stuff like stereos, cupholders, and going fast? that shit is important. some other things to consider:

how long does it take to make a 4 million dollar camel?
if/when the camel reproduces, will its offspring also be worth as much?
i spend about 200 bucks a month on gas and my car goes over snow, rocks, and sand. what are the upkeep costs vs benefits of a camel?
i can let my car sit in my garage without it shitting on the floor.
my car can travel 500 miles in a day and still be used the next day.

tl;dr - i would still have a car

My camel & I are highly offended by this thread. Fuck you all and the camel you rode in on.

Baraka wins the thread. I didn't even have to make a Arnold/Conan reference and he posted exactly what I wanted. Heck yes.

Btw, those llamas were totally laughing at that camel, Baraka.

...Channeling Jetee...

I believe the term is "moose knuckle" as it applies to men showing off "genital cleavage" through tight trousers.

The term became popular when it was modified and used against someone as "Pfft, that's a mouse knuckle."
